Adelaide Cabaret Fringe Festival
Expect the unexpected in this grassroots, open-access festival that celebrates the glories of cabaret in all its mystery and mayhem. Program details are being finalised as we go to press, but all signs point towards a heady mix of music, storytelling, emerging artists and plenty of high jinks in alternative venues across the city, all adding up to a week and a half of exploration, discovery and community.
Various venues, Adelaide, Kaurna Country, Friday 23 May–Sunday 1 June.

ACO Weekend
The Australian Chamber Orchestra’s annual pilgrimage to the stunning setting of UKARIA Cultural Centre is always a highlight of the classical music calendar. Over the weekend, audiences will be treated to Penderecki’s String Quartet No. 3 Leaves Of An Unwritten Diary as well as Brahms’ Violin Concerto and String Quartet. Dining packages are available or use the time between performances to lose yourself in the beauty of UKARIA’s stunning gardens. Bus transfers make getting there easy too.
UKARIA, Mount Barker Summit, Peramangk Country, Saturday 31 May & Sunday 1 June.

Harbingers: Care Or Catastrophe
This long-running exhibition, now on its final stops of a two-year regional tour, aims to address difficult issues about our collective future through art that is strongly connected to place and people. Work from Chris De Rosa, Ellen Trevorrow, Lara Tilbrook, Clancy Warner and Laura Wills use creativity and compassion to answer one profoundly simple question: what if we prioritise different things?
Signal Point Experience Centre, Goolwa, Ngarrindjeri Country, until Sunday 27 July.
